1 June 2016 | New citation required and conclusions have changed | The original review reported a reduction in mortality with self‐management or self‐monitoring; in this update, with the addition of the 10 new trials (adding 4227 participants) this risk reduction was no longer statistically significant; however, after the removal of low‐quality studies, the original finding of a reduction in all‐cause mortality was found. Secondly, the original review found that trials of self‐monitoring alone did not result in a statistically significant reduction in thromboembolic events; the new finding is a statistically significant reduction. Thirdly, in the original review, self‐monitoring significantly reduced major haemorrhage; in this update, self‐monitoring did not reduce major haemorrhage, but removal of studies with low quality resulted in a statistically significant reduction. |
